Racine, WI—The community is mourning the loss of Joseph Flores, who passed away on Saturday, September 21st, 2024. His unexpected departure has left his family facing an overwhelming emotional and financial burden. Joseph was the primary provider for his family, and his absence is deeply felt by his partner and their 5-month-old daughter, Lillianna (Lily).
Lily, who suffers from a rare brain condition known as Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum (ACC), endures daily seizures and requires ongoing medical care. Her mother has dedicated herself to being her full-time caregiver, but the family now finds themselves struggling to cope with both the loss of Joseph and the costs of Lily’s medical treatments. The financial strain is compounded by the upcoming brain surgery scheduled for October 2024 at Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee, a critical procedure needed to manage Lily’s condition.
A GoFundMe fundraiser, organized by Tiffany Baker, has been set up to assist with funeral expenses, medical bills, and transportation costs for the family’s frequent trips to the hospital. The community has begun to respond, with donations slowly coming in from supporters like Shannon Ryan and an anonymous donor, but much more help is needed.
The Vantrease family, close friends of Joseph’s partner, has also made a heartfelt plea for support, urging anyone who can to contribute. They highlight the immediate financial pressures, including the costs associated with Joseph’s funeral and Lily’s upcoming surgery, as well as ongoing medical needs.
Joseph Flores will be remembered as a beloved member of the Racine community, and his memory will continue to live on through the love and support shown to his family during this difficult time.
We extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Joseph Flores. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
